Toy Story

Correction: Because Buzz was hit by the lamp, which could have caught him off guard. He could've panicked whilst falling from the window, and forgotten that he could fly.

Corrected entry: When Woody tells the toys not to be worried about being replaced, Potato Head says, "Of course Woody ain't worried. He's been Andy's favorite since kindergarten," implying that it's been quite a while since the kid's been a kindergartner. Andy is only six years old. Just how much of a genius is this kid?

Correction: For a toy, two years could be a long time. The phrase, "He's been Andy's favorite for a year and a half," although not as poetic, has the same meaning.

Corrected entry: In the beginning when Andy goes to get his sister from her crib, there is a sign on the door when he walks in the room. When they leave, the sign is gone. (00:03:13)

Correction: The first shot shows 2 doors; the bedroom door and closet door. The sign is on the bedroom door not the closet door. The next shot shows the closet door only, which does not have a sign.

Corrected entry: Near the end of the movie, Buzz and Woody are riding RC. Woody and Buzz take turns controlling RC with his controller. How come in the beginning of the movie, RC can move freely around Andy's room with no one controlling him but he can't steer himself at the end when they are trying to catch up with the moving truck?

Correction: Actually, in the movie RC can move by control or by himself. They did this in the movie to add a degree of difficulty to the scene.

Corrected entry: When Buzz and Woody are on the top of the stairs, trying to escape from Sid's house, Woody's pull string gets caught on one of the banister spindles. The next shot shows him stuck on a different one.

Correction: No, it's always on the one next to the wall that curls away from it.

Corrected entry: In Pizza Planet, Buzz goes into the Claw-Game (the one with the aliens in it) and if you look carefully the wire that lowers it down is yellow but when it comes down the second time to pick up Buzz it's Black.

ShooterMcGavin34

Correction: The yellow, curly wire doesn't lower the claw, it's just on the ceiling. The wire that lowers the claw is always black and straight.

rabid anarchist

Corrected entry: If Buzz Lightyear believes that he is a real Space Ranger then why when Andy comes in to the room does he freeze up like a toy. If he believes he is a Space Ranger wouldn't he walk around like nothing is happening?

ShooterMcGavin34

Correction: He thinks he's on a special mission from Space Command and doesn't want to be detected.

STP

Corrected entry: The sun roof that Buzz comes in though to save Andy is not there when the mini-van returns to the house in the evening.

Correction: It is, but just shut - you can see the outline.

Corrected entry: In the scene where Andy is coming upstairs with his party guest to play with Buzz Lightyear, against his closed door is propped the muscle man doll. How could he be left that way, and still be able to leave the room?

Correction: The doll wasn't left that way; in a few other scenes (both movies) this doll "blocks" the door in an attempt to give the other toys a chance to resume their positions before humans return.

Corrected entry: At the gas station when Woody is almost run over by the semi you can see the wheel stop just before him. Unfortunately, that's the rear wheel and you can see the front one on the left. So Woody was, in fact, run over by the truck. (00:31:40)

Correction: If the truck was turning as it pulled into the gas station, it is possible that Woody escaped being run over as the front wheels would have missed him.

Corrected entry: In the beginning of the movie, Andy puts Potato Head in Molly's crib. She pounds him against the railing, knocking all of his pieces off. Later, when Andy and his friends are coming up to the room, Potato Head is panicking because he can't find his ear but the last time Andy saw him, he didn't have any of his pieces on so why would he be worried about it? Shouldn't the toys be trying to look like and be placed where they last were when Andy was there? (00:13:11)

Correction: In theory, yes. Obviously Mr. Potato Head forgot that he doesn't need his ear.

Corrected entry: After Mom steps on the soldiers and one of them is injured, the plastic piece that connects the feet is broken (which the commentators indicate is the reason he cannot walk). But when he is being lifted into the potted plant, the plastic piece connecting the feet is whole again. (00:13:10)

Correction: Its feet are fixed because he was healed by a "medic." You can see a medic army toy giving a thumbs up, indicating that he healed the broken soldier you are referring to.

Corrected entry: When Buzz shows all of the toys that he can fly for the first time, Buzz steps toward the end of Andy's bed. Right when he stops, notice how his right wing is transparent and you can see the window through his wing.

Correction: This is not actually a mistake, as you can see the rest of the scene and even before the moment mentioned, the wing is see-through. This indicates that it was intentional, that the plastic used to make his wings is thinner and transparent.

While true, most plastic wings on a toy don't work that way. I had my own Buzz Lightyear. At most, light could go through it but you couldn't see anything through it.

Corrected entry: At the end just before the rocket takes off Woody and Buzz are sitting on RC. (the remote controlled car) They put down the controller for RC which later vanishes from the picture and then Woody lights the fuse for the rocket on Buzz's back. They fly off and drop RC into the removal truck but they didn't take the controller with them so the car will never run again. (01:13:54)

Correction: See Correction in Toy Story 2 - Andy's Mom would probably assume it got lost in the move, and go to the store to get another one.

Corrected entry: Just before Sid blows up the Combat Carl figure, he throws a cement block at the figure, just missing it. Then we see him lighting the explosive on Carl and then he blows up. When we cut back to a wide shot of Sid's garden, the block has been moved to the other side of the garden, nowhere near where it landed before Sid lit the explosive.

Padzter

Correction: The block is already gone when he lights the firecracker. Between throwing the concrete and lighting the firecracker, Sid had plenty of time to move the concrete block to where we see it later.

Continuity mistake: There's an electrical outlet on the wall below the window (aligned with the window shade's loop) in Sid's room near the Megadork poster, but when Sid throws Woody to the floor and raises the shade (before he scorches Woody's forehead with the magnifying glass), that outlet has vanished.

Rex: And I'm from Mattel. Well, I'm not really from Mattel, I'm actually from a smaller company that was purchased by Mattel in a leveraged buyout.

More trivia for Toy Story

Question: Pixar movies have always shown to have adult themes. Was Buzz drunk during the Mrs. Nesbit scene?

Answer: There wasn't anything for him to get drunk on. He was just wallowing in self pity and frankly, his world had just fallen apart, so it's understandable that he'd act a little loopy as a reaction.

Garlonuss

Answer: He was simply depressed. You can tell because he snaps out of it as soon as Woody hits him.

Answer: He was apparently drunk on Darjeeling tea - Woody takes the teapot away, saying he's had enough.
